Santrofi

Young Highlife Supergroup sensation from Ghana. The incredible live energy has made them tour the stages from Paris to Amsterdam, Berlin to Tokyo or Seattle. Ever since the release of their debute album Alewa in 2020 they have got the world dancing to their new unique vintage inspired HIghlife sound. Their last adventure took them on a 20 city tour all over Japan. Santrofi in Akan mythology is the tale of a precious rare and precious bird, identified by its bright colors and four wings. The band plays a mix of vintage Highlife, Highlife Funk and Afrobeat. Santrofi is a collective of celebrated young musicians known within Ghana’s music circles.
